I’m a balloon on a broken string.
I don’t belong to anyone or anything.
And I know I look shiny and bouncy,
but I’m all empty inside, and I worry
that if I was to just burst suddenly,
that nobody would even notice me.
“A Balloon On a Broken String” — a new song from The Boy Least Likely To’s upcoming album. How can something that sounds so cute have such sad lyrics? I can’t stop listening to it; it’s the story of my life, basically.
